Helpful Tips and Information:

Plan your alterations as far in advance as possible. Most services are contracted and acquisition and scheduling time must be considered.

Weight load surveys are necessary for evaluating load bearing capacity when moving heavy items such as file systems, safes, storage systems, etc. Surveys may take up to several weeks to perform. Additional load bearing support may be required.

An authorized official must commit funds prior to starting work. Payment may be made by Government charge card (preferred) and by Customer Agreement.
